Think Differently About B-Mitzvah
@13: A Moving Traditions Podcast
A six-episode podcast series that is pitch-perfect for parents and preteens going through the sometimes confusing, likely emotional, and certainly triumphant process of planning and becoming a B-Mitzvah. We hear from rabbis, authors, comedians, psychologists, parents, and teens about the ancient roots and modern realities of this Jewish rite of passage. And we consider how to infuse meaning and connection into the process of becoming and parenting a teen.
Producer: Michele Siegel (Slate, New York Times, WNYC)
Guests include: Peggy Orenstein, Mark Oppenheimer, Rabbi Sharon Brous, Rachel Simmons, Andrew Smiler, and more.
Host: Sara Ivry (host of the award-winning Vox Tablet podcast)
